So I was communicating directly with God? Absolutely. Expressed that way, it sounds grandiose. But when it was happening, it didn't feel that way. Instead, I felt like I was doing what every soul is able to do when they leave their bodies, and what we can all do right now through various methods of prayer or deep meditation. Communicating with God is the most extraordinary experience imaginable, yet at the same time it's the most natural one of all, because God is present in us at all times. Omniscient, omnipotent, personal--and loving us without conditions. We are connected as One through our divine link with God. .Eben Alexander
About This Quote
The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. Our lives are full of challenges, obstacles, and setbacks. We all fall down more than we rise up. But there is no need to feel bad about ourselves when we fail.
God takes us back up again and again. As long as we remember who we are and who God is, we will always be able to rise again.
